It would be scary, for sure, but at least it's captured on a dashcam so you don't look/seem like you're out of your mind. That's what happened to a driver in Austria as a meteor streaked through the night sky.

There were also reported sightings in eastern France, Germany and Switzerland.

Here are two more videos, both from German dashcams:
